This was an interesting read for me.
So far, I’ve been exposed to bash as the default shell, I then switched to zsh because I wanted the oh-my-zsh experience and recently I discovered fish because it is ships with my current gaming distro (Garuda).
I never really gave it much thought, I do too little shell-scripting to really remember syntax and open a search engine any time I want to write another script.
The part that speaks the most to me is towards the end: it’s ok to have nice things, and writing scripts should be fun. The first programming language I used was Ruby, and to this day I never really found the same syntactic niceness in another language (C, Java, Rust, JS).
Mainly for this reason, this article makes me want to try Nushell.
